Server Help Working Rcon Client?

Can anyone recommend a working Rcon client? I have my server running as a service on a 2012 R2 box and as such I don't have a way to interact with the server besides connecting to it. I can't seem to find a Rcon client that works. I can make a successful connection via Telnet as well as a Minecraft Rcon client (mcrcon) but the former yields only a black screen, showing no typed entries, and the latter doesn't allow execution of any commands.

Thanks for the help.

 

Hi @JdeFalconr ,

I myself use a client written in Python by Dunto.
All I need is to broadcast messages before scheduled reboots, so this one fits perfectly.

I used to use some other clients with Valve RCON support such as this one.
I think some server owners have homemade their RCON clients, so perhaps they could help you.

 

Thanks @Usiemon that's helpful. Sorry to say I'm not familiar with how to execute Python scripts; how do I do so?

 

If you have already installed Python2 (if you are going to use Dunto's client), open the command prompt.
Then type

Code:

cd (the folder you placed the client)
python rcon_client.py

This will bring you an interactive RCON prompt, where you can execute RCON command such as "say hi".

Don't forget to edit HOSTNAME/PORT/PASSWORD(they should be on line 30 to 32) before you use it.
